I write a story to become someone else. I write to enjoy a world unlike my own. To escape this world was my goal, but with all these lives I have lived their voices still circle my head. If what is real is dictated hy what I care about then am I killing things I care about when I write? What if I control the fate of another whom I never knew existed? Do my characters live another place somewhere far away? Or are they me trapped in a device of my own making.

Fire Resistances come for many races in Alteria. Also in many Forms. In this instance we talk of the natural elemental resistance. If non magical flames are encountered with such resistance it is seemingly only half as effective.

Burning hands is considered a basic spell for most who practice magic. Elementals who are aligned with fire typically can use this particular spell with ease and can refine it farther with more ease than that of a non elemental. Burning hands at higher levels can get to temperatures that melt swords and iron, should the user be advanced with the spell. The draconian races also have ease with this spell in many cases. Many applications can be found for such a spell.

Silicia was always a kind hearted person, though hot tempered, who could blame the fire genasi. When an elemental is around, their element really stands true to them.

There always was an age where a witch would discover her magic. The prime age when raised in a family of witches is when they turn sixteen. As that is when the nature of their magic reveals itself. Little do most witches know, is they only age in accordance to how specific events of the moon occur to times of magical use. In instances such as the war of the pink moon, it can cause time to slow for witches, or even speed up the process of aging, depending on the nature of witch.

The War Of The Pink Moon happened when our protagonist, Annie, is merely three years of age, the War lasting several years. The War occurred during a Pink supermoon of which had impacted all witches in that timeline, they would no longer age like humans when the war would end. If Annie was to Survive, it would mean their chance of redemption as the Crescents Of Night. Though Asphodel made Granduos efforts to change the outcome, it inevitably was futile. She only could wait for Annie to age.

Mercenaries once were common in the old world, now the name is simply anyone willing to risk their life in exchange for bits. The little plastic blocks happen to be easy to find all over. the old world must have had an abundance.

A few people dare call themselves mercenaries. They go into the Badlands and hunt the beasts within, for a price. Otherwise they will not interfere unless it's a threat to their own lives. Mercenaries only ever seem to want one thing. Currencies. Currencies is our new way of saying old world money. Although, for the most part, the only thing of value for us to trade with are something called "Legos". We use these as bits, bits being the main used money in the Badlands.

We no longer see a full humans life span in this world. The Badlands have so many deadly creatures, even before we see out weather which is just as devastating. Humans due to these severe living conditions rarely exceed thirty years of age.

This is what the world is now referred to. The old world, what used to be before the war that caused humanity to nearly get entirely wiped out, is pretty well lost to time, whatever may be there.

A few settlements are around each continent. However there is no predominant rule or influence in The Badlands.
